Oilers can't take Yamamoto off IR without waiving Puljujarvi at this point. SJ might need to retain $4 mil to get this deal done. If that is the case they need a higher end prospect or first

I think it is a steep overpay for a 32 year old who is having a renaissance season on a dumpster fire team making $11.25M. It is not enough to eat $4M+ but $2.5M with that return makes sense. Maybe a conditional 2nd in 24 that turns into a 1st if the Oilers make the finals in one of the next 2 years?
If they want $4M retained then perhaps Bourgault is swapped with Holloway and there is a conditional pick?
